Let kids be kids linky 13/5/14

Welcome to let kids be kids linky.

This is a linky all about letting kids be kids, getting back to basics and having great childhood fun. We live in such a fast paced modern world with so much technology and stresses round every corner, we often need to be reminded to just ‘play’ and have fun, it’s healthy for us all (yes, that includes you parents!).

Please join me in spreading the word, for encouraging children to step away from the technology for a while and go out, run around, use their imaginations and just have general basic FUN!

Last week, there were so many great posts. I loved this post of natural child led ‘muddy’ play via 3 Princesses and 1 dude. Bumps and grind wrote a good post in praise of children’s centres and KidGLloves showed us their fab bush skills.

I have started a series of weekly themed activity prompts, last week was all about music and this week is farm. Please take a look each week and grab some inspiration.

There’s not many rules, just link up your posts (screen free), old or new, about genuine childhood fun (of any age). It may be fun outdoors, jumping in puddles, nature hunts, riding bikes or making mud pies. Or it may be fun indoors with arts and crafts, making dens, cooking, messy play or reading. Or how about visiting a farm or fun at a fete. Or a discussion about kids growing up too fast, etc.

Whatever basic fun you have been having or discussing, link up and share your ideas, visit others to get inspiration and comment to give each other encouragement and support, but most importantly, HAVE FUN!

This linky will open every Tuesday for 6 days, so there’s plenty of time to add your posts.

Please spread the word and grab my badge if possible from my footer.

If you tweet me your link (@karenattwinlife), I will happily retweet.
